Recap for One Life to Live, cont.

Michael angrily tells Roxy to try using a flashlight next time, and what are they doing about the lights? Roxy sarcastically reminds him that she apologized and tells him they're working on the lights before leaving. Inside, Marcie and Michael discuss some mildly strange events going on at the hospital. Michael briefly states that something isn't sitting right with him about his attending doctor boss, but he brushes it off and asks why Marcie is so upset. She shows him a letter the University Scholarship Board sent, stating that she has until the end of the semester to get her grades back up, or she's out. Mike assures her that she'll meet that goal with flying colors, but she's not consoled. She wonders aloud what's happened to her. She never used to be this way. I like the way you are. Yeah, but my grades are slipping...

Marcie, it's only a warning letter, and he's how we'll fix it.. I won't visit when you're studying, so that you can take all the time you need in the day to study, and have more time to do other things. Like what? The radio station, the police station, and this...he swoops her up into his lap and kisses her, making her giggle.

She gets very soft and loving as she looks at him and confesses that after feeling like she was betraying Al for so long, it was Al who told her that everything she was looking for was right before her, and she was to grab it. That's when I realized that I love you, Michael! (WAAAAAAAH!!! Boo-hoo! Sniffles.)

Michael is so happy and shocked that he swoops her up and kisses her a million times, and she finally manages to say that there's something he can do for her..he says name it. She says maybe he could say that he loves her, too? OH! MAN! YES! I LOVE YOU, Marcie Walsh! More hugs, and kisses and tears..

The finale..

Kevin and Todd are going at it in the office. Kevin warns Todd not to print things about his family in the paper. Todd tells him that he can print whatever he wants, and he doesn't know why Kevin is so hot about the article, it was a great birth announcement. Viki walks into the commotion and is hard pressed to calm Raging Kevin down so she can get to the bottom of the fuss. Kevin tattles to Viki that Todd published an article about his son. Viki surprisingly defends the article as a lovely piece, which sets Psycho Kev off even further. I don't want him doing ANYTHING about my family! Todd is childishly taunting Kevin from behind Viki's back, and quickly acting calm and cool when Viki turns back to face him. This goes on for quite some time. Kevin is making inflammatory remarks about Todd, and Viki is defending him. Enter Paul, who wants to blast Todd for the article he printed right UNDER the birth announcement about the helicopter accident. He can't with the Buchanans there, so he tells them that he's there to correct some inadequacies in the wording. The Buchanans leave, and Paul and Todd face off.

Are you crazy? Paul says. Todd calmly tells him to calm down, he made Paul look like a hero. Oh, great! Now everyone knows I was at the accident scene. They'll connect two and two..

Relax, Kramer, it's not as if I printed the truth...THAT YOU STOLE A BABY! Todd says loudly, causing Kramer to jump out of his skin. Todd leans over and tells him that his secret will be safe as long as he doesn't SCREW UP! Now beat it. Paul heads over to Rodi's, and Todd races out to the Manor when he gets Blair's call. He finds her upstairs, crouched outside of their daughter's closet, and in split screen we see Starr sitting in the exact same position on the inside of the closet. Blair looks up at Todd and says that she didn't know who else to call. She's locked herself inside..Starr screams that she's not ever coming out. Then Blair says, you have to help me..you have to help me help our daughter!

Flash back to the famous Vega Diner..

Kevin is still throwing tantrums to Viki about Todd. Why do you keep defending him? He's up to something, I can feel it! Viki tells him that there wasn't one harsh word in the article, why not give him the benefit of the doubt for a change? As a matter of fact, son, it's YOU who's making things more difficult for me. Kevin didn't care about the message she just delivered. He keeps whining, selfish little twitty BRAT that he is, until Viki's stare goes blank as something happens. Kevin FINALLY shuts his big FAT TRAP and asks his mom what's wrong. Viki quietly says, Kevin darling..get me to the hospital...NOW!

Thanks for riding with me, folks.
